> As an alternative to validating connections (either on borrow or in the background), we could implement a feature similar to WebSphere's purge policy.  The idea is that we can assume in certain cases that a single fatal exception means every connection in the pool will subsequently throw fatal exceptions.  Such is the case in situations where the connected database has been restarted.  Rather than implementing a purge policy per se, we would implement an "on fatal behavior".  The behavior could define one of three actions to be taken when a fatal exception is encountered:
> 1. Destroy single connection (equivalent to WAS policy of "single connection")
> 2. Initiate validation run
> 3. Flush entire pool (equivalent to WAS policy of "whole pool")
> Note that all of the above (indeed this entire feature) requires the use of an ExceptionSorter.
> In terms of implementation, I see two possibilities:
> 1. Implement this feature as an MBean, which means we'd need some way of registering connection event listeners outside JCA.
> 2. Implement this feature as part of the JCA adapter which I think makes more sense, but is more impactful.
> Regarding #1, if it's possible to simply add a way to register connection event listeners from outside the adapter, that could become its own feature request and this feature simply turns into an MBean that can be implemented separately.
